Fjällbackamorden


Fjällbackamorden is a Swedish film series, based on characters from the "Fjällbackamorden" series of crime novels written by author Camilla Läckberg. Tre Vänner Produktion was the lead producer and the author was part of the project when presented at the Cannes Film Festival.

Story

The main character is Erica played by Claudia Galli in the films. In the first novel, The Ice Princess, Erica is unmarried and returns to Fjällbacka to clean out their home, and ends up staying. In the TV series, she is already a famous author, married to Patrik, has three children, and lives in Fjällbacka. A common theme in all the shows is how contemporary murders drive Erica to dig up long-buried secrets in the "idyllic" seaside town. The stories are all new and not directly based on any of the books. Richard Ulfsäter plays Patrik Hedstrom.
